SOURCE: turning my printer from offline to online

Check your printer connections.
Go to printer folder and clean all pending jobs.
Turn off your printer
Turn off your computer
Turn on your computer
Turn on yor printer

Check the status fo the printer must be "ready" (at the printer folder)
If not replace the printer cable.
Is still the problem remain, uninstall an reinstall the printer.

Is this the initial install? If so do this.. I finally figured this out. Do the "cable" install. After it discovers the printer etc you will get to a screen during the driver part of the install that will ask you how to find the printer. The "recommended" list method is a deadend!  Instead, check the IP address option and input that.. You can get the IP address of the printer from the test page which should have already printed.(Its probably 192.168.2.3).  I run   XP and it solved the problem. I suspect its also the answer for Macs and Vista as well.
I have also had success by doing the "cable" install, then when its done, deleting the printer in Printers and Faxes, then doing a manual install (you still need the IP address).  I am using two computers to go to this printer and it flies. Great speed.

Do you mean it says "offline" under the printer icon in your PC's printer dialog box?
Right click it , then select "use printer online".

Please let me know
